Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an induction cooking hob with an integrated down-draft hood, an air inlet and an air outlet.
  • An induction cooking hob with an integrated down-draft hood is currently available on the market.
  • the down-draft hood requires a fan for sucking air and steam.
  • the power circuits of the induction cooking hob have to be cooled.
  • the sucking of air and the cooling of the power circuits require fans or similar devices.
  • US 4,431,892 discloses a ventilated modular induction cooktop cartridge.
  • the electronic components inside said modular induction cooktop cartridge are cooled down by a proximity ventilation system.
  • Said ventilation system educts air from the interior of the modular induction cooktop cartridge and causes an air circulation path through said induction cooktop cartridge.
  • US 4,665,893 discloses a cooking stove with induction heating function.
  • Each heater consists of a box-shaped chassis provided with a motor-driven cooling fan. Said cooling fan produces an air flow through the interior of the chassis, through a ventilation duct and to the ambient.
  • US 2010/0163549 A1 discloses an induction cooking hob with a heat management system. Said heat management system controls the heat produced internally by the electronic components as well as the heat generated above the cooking hob.
  • DE 10 2012 210 844 A1 discloses a cooking arrangement comprising an induction cooking hob and an exhaust hood.
  • the power of the induction coils and the rotation speed of the exhaust hood are synchronously controlled.
  • US 2014/230662 A1 provides an improved control system for a range hood that capable of automatically responding to various air quality parameters including heat, smoke, carbon monoxide, humidity, and others.
  • the system contains a number of features that, combining aspects of open-loop and closed loop control, manage the system dynamics for smoother operation, respond to both level and rate signals and compensate for background conditions and sensor variability by using relative values.
  • JP3860109B Further prior art is disclosed in JP3860109B .
  • the downstream channel is arranged vertically and the induction cooking hob with the integrated down-draft hood allows cooling down the at least one power circuit by the air stream through said down-draft hood.
  • the core of the present invention is that the heat sink is thermally connected to the power circuit for the induction generator on the one hand and said heat sink is arranged in the downstream channel of the integrated down-draft hood on the other hand. This allows an efficient operation of the proper induction cooking hob and the integrated down-draft hood.
  • the down-draft hood includes at least one fan for sucking the air stream through the downstream channel.
  • the down-draft hood may include at least one control unit for controlling the fan, in particular the speed of the fan.
  • the induction cooking hob may include a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the power circuit.
  • the speed of the fan may depend on the temperature of the power circuit.
  • the speed of the fan may depend on the power setting of the power circuit.
  • the down-draft hood may include at least one air quality sensor for detecting contaminations of the air stream through the downstream channel.
  • the air quality sensor is connected or connectable to the control unit for controlling the fan.
  • the heat sink includes a plurality of cooling ribs extending at least partially into the downstream channel.
  • the air inlet of the downstream channel is arranged in a centre of the cooking panel.
  • the down-draft hood may include at least one condenser for extracting humidity from the air stream through the downstream channel.
  • the down-draft hood may include at least one filter arranged in the downstream channel.
  • the downstream channel is arranged vertically, wherein the air outlet is arranged in the bottom of the chassis of the induction cooking hob.
  • the heat sink is arranged in an upper portion of the downstream channel.
  • FIG 1 illustrates a schematic top view of an induction cooking hob 10 with an integrated down-draft hood according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the induction cooking hob 10 comprises a cooking panel 12 including a number of cooking zones 14.
  • the cooking panel 12 includes four cooking zones 14.
  • the induction cooking hob 10 comprises a user interface 16 arranged on the cooking panel 12.
  • the user interface 16 may be arranged in an arbitrary place at or on the induction cooking hob 10.
  • An air inlet 18 of the down-draft hood is arranged in the centre of the cooking panel 12.
  • the air inlet 18 has a rectangular shape.
  • the cooking zones 14 are arranged beside the air inlet 18.
  • FIG 2 illustrates a schematic sectional front view of the induction cooking hob 10 with the integrated down-draft hood according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the induction cooking hob 10 comprises a chassis 20.
  • the induction cooking hob 10 may be a freestanding cooking appliance.
  • the cooking panel 12 forms the top side of the induction cooking hob 10.
  • two cooking pots 22 are arranged on the cooking panel 12.
  • the down-draft hood includes an air inlet 18 and an air outlet 36.
  • the air inlet 18 is arranged in the centre of the cooking panel 12, while the air outlet 36 is formed in the bottom of the chassis 20.
  • the air outlet 36 is arranged beneath the air inlet 18, so that a vertical downstream channel 40 is formed inside the down-draft hood.
  • Steam 24 from the cooking pot 22 enters the downstream channel 40 through the air inlet 18.
  • one or more filters are arranged in the downstream channel.
  • condensers may be arranged in the downstream channel 40 in order to condensing the steam.
  • the down-draft hood includes a fan 30 arranged in the lower part of the downstream channel 40.
  • the fan 30 is controlled by a control unit 32.
  • the control unit 32 is provided for controlling the speed of the fan 30.
  • the fan 30 sucks air and steam top down through the downstream channel 40.
  • the down-draft hood includes at least one air quality sensor 34 arranged in the downstream channel 40.
  • the air quality sensor 34 is adapted for detecting contaminations of the air in the downstream channel 40.
  • the speed of the fan 30 depends on signals detected by the air quality sensor 34. For example, the speed of the fan 30 increases automatically, if the air quality sensor 34 detects a high level of air pollution.
  • the induction cooking hob 10 comprises at least one heat sink 28 arranged in the upper part of the downstream channel 40.
  • the heat sink 28 is mechanically and thermally connected to power circuits for the induction generators of the cooking zones 14.
  • the heat sink 28 allows a heat exchange between the power circuits and an air stream through the downstream channel 40.
  • the power circuits are cooled down, while the air stream is heated up.
  • the heat sink 28 includes a plurality of cooling ribs extending into the downstream channel 40.
  • the power circuits are sealed in such a way that humidity cannot reach the electric and electronic components of the power circuits.
  • the induction cooking hob 10 with the integrated down-draft hood allows cooling down the power circuits for the induction generators of the cooking zones 14 by the air stream through said down-draft hood.
